WT Farley

What WT Farley does

WT Farley Inc. is a privately held specialty medical device company founded in 1968 and headquartered in the Charleston, South Carolina area (Ladson). The company designs, manufactures, assembles, and distributes medical devices focused on respiratory products and medical gas delivery, including regulators (oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, mixed gas, air, CO2, suction, heliox), precision flowmeters, oxygen-air and heliox blenders, configurable medical gas hose assemblies, IV poles, cylinder handling equipment, medical carts, MRI-conditional products, and signature items such as the DU-O-VAC Plus crash cart suction unit. A meaningful portion of the catalog is dedicated to MRI-compatible versions of these products, addressing the safety requirements of magnetic resonance environments.

The business is run as a micro-entity (1-10 employees) operating primarily through a direct e-commerce storefront (wtfarley.com) supplemented by phone-based product specialist sales, a dealer/reseller program, and a small LinkedIn presence. Revenue is generated almost entirely from one-time hardware sales with publicly listed unit pricing, ranging from low-cost fittings (~$3) to higher-value specialty equipment such as MRI bariatric wheelchairs (~$6,246), and the company emphasizes same-day/next-day shipping, solution-selling, and configurability over volume discounting. Customer segments span hospitals and medical professionals, MRI facilities, anesthesia and surgical teams, dental and veterinary practices, and EMS/emergency services, with a new industrial sub-brand extending the addressable market to non-medical cylinder handling. Quality is anchored by ISO 9001:2015 certification through Intertek (valid through 2027), and ownership is concentrated privately with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company.
